Adapted excerpt from On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
by Henry David Thoreau
It is not a man's duty to devote himself to the eradication of any wrong; he may still properly have other concerns to engage him. But it is his duty, at
least, to wash his hands of it, and not to give it practically his support. I have heard some of my townsmen say, "I should like to have them order me
out to help put down an insurrection of the slaves, or to march to Mexico.-see if I would go." And yet these very men have each, directly by their
allegiance, and indirectly, by their money, furnished a substitute. Thus, under the name of Order and Civil Government, we are all made to pay support
our own meanness. After the first blush of sin, comes its indifference; and from immoral it becomes, as it were, unmoral, and not quite unnecessary to
that life which we have made.
